Hi, in Memsource you can enter synonyms to terms, such as [url removed]
You can enter synonyms when creating new terms or when importing terminology from Excel. Details are described in our documentation: [url removed] #Terminology_Import. [/quote]
Hi Vaclav,
You said "You can enter synonyms when creating new terms", but how exactly? Do you mean directly in the Alt+T dialogue when translating in the grid?
It seems to me that the only place you can add them is (when importing, or ) from the Term Bases tab (i.e., @ [url removed] ).
It would be great if the user could also add them when adding the term (via Alt+T) when translating in the grid. There are quite a few steps between adding a term via Alt+T, and navigating to the place where synonyms can be added to the term.
It would be great, e.g., if the user could just enter terms separated by a character (e.g., a semi colon ir pipe) in the Alt+T interface, and these would then be automatically added to the TB as synonyms.
